I'm so confused!!!

Day 48 in my cycle. I have normal periods. I've had regular cycles. For the past three days I have been spotting. It hasn't at all been bright red and has only been there when I wipe. Been wearing a pad ( because I don't want to wear a tampon just in case) all three days and nothing is heavy enough to cover. My periods are normally really bad. Bad cramping and bleeding heavy. Is this considered my period? I'm really confused to what's going on with my body =(
